Days Out In Portugal
For
the expat, days out in Portugal take on a whole new meaning depending on
where you are living and what your interests are. In many cases it is just
the same as anywhere else in the world in that some people like to laze on
the beach on their rest days where as others like to go for long walks in
the countryside or visit the cities for their shops or other attractions.
What ever you like to do for your days out in Portugal you will not be
disappointed. The selection of beaches are as wide and as varied as you
could possibly imagine, if you just want to sunbathe or spend the whole day
surfing the waves your needs will be met.
The towns and cities also have so much to offer and if you are not far away
from Lisbon there are a wealth of things to do and see to keep every member
of the family amused and interested.
The Maritime Museum, or the Museu de Marinha as it is known is absolutely
fascinating. It is widely considered to be the best museum in Europe and you
don't have to try hard to imagine what life was like in the sixteenth
century with hundreds of examples of the various marine vessels that were in
use at that time.
If art is your thing than you must visit the Calouste Gulbenkian museum
which hosts one of the most stunning private art collections in the world
and included in this collection are Rembrandts, Ruben and Renoir. I must
warn you though, a few hours in this museum will absolutely fly by and you
won't know where the time went.

Perhaps, for your
days out in Portugal, it will appeal to you to be a little
on the brave side and visit Aqualand on the Algarve. Some of
the slides here will have you screaming in both fear and
delight as you seem to be defying the laws of gravity as you
shoot through the water. If this is what you fancy I would
advise visiting either early or lase in the season as I am
sure you can imagine how busy it gets as it is extremely
popular with holiday makers.
It is very reasonably priced and quite easy to spend a whole
day there but be sure to take your own refreshments as that
is one thing that can work out to be quite expensive.
